The Blaine Sherman contest for the
empty honor Of heading the repub-
lican national ticket next year has
reached Wisconsin. So far Sherman
appears to have the best show Of re-
ceiYing the support Of the republican
Badgers in the national convention,
as he has Boss Sawyer and a large
majority Of the sub bosses on his
side; but there is determined and
out-spoken minority under the leader
ship of Boss Reyes and The State
journal, which is in favor Of renOm-
mating the brilliant statesman who
CALAMITY but unsuccessfully cham
pioned the lost cause of protection in
1884 The State Journal says that the
question naturally comes up who will
be most likely to succeed in laying
out Cleveland" and then concludes
that Blaine is the man for the work in
hand. 1t may be easy enough for
either Mr.. Blaine or Mr. Sherman to
lay President Cleveland out in the
imagination of republican organ grind
ers; but the accomplishment of the
same feat at the polls in November,
1888, will be altogether y different
matter The Blaine and Sherman and
other boomers are welcome to all the
comfort and enjoyment they can de
rive from beating Mr.. Cleveland on
paper; but it needs neither prophet
nor the son of a prophet to predict,
that when election day arrives there
will be a heavy shower OF Cleveland
ballots

We are permitted to publish the
following letter from Mr.. Strong to

Mr.. Roswell Miller, General Manager
&c: DEAR SIR: | take the liberty of
enclosing a slip cut from newspaper
at this place, showing that the con
struction of Il railroad from Freeport
to.Dodgeville by the Ill. Cent. Il. II. is
in contemplation, which if carried into
effect, as | have good reason to think
it will be, will injuriously affect the
business of the c. NJ. X st. =. Ry. to
very serious extent. This can be to
great extent countcractcd by the
extension Of the Mineral Point Diyis-
ion of your road to Dodgeyille say
9 miles; from which point it could be
very protitably extended to Arena
tbVtt ~ hIlto, anu tN llAlillS up Il ShI
of about % miles from Prairie du Sac
to Portage City, continuous line
would be had from Portage City to
Mineral Point, and all the lines with
which the Mineral Point Division is
in connection.
Or from nodgeville the road could
be extended to Lone Rock, Il distance
of about 20 miles, where it would con
meet with the Richland Center branch
and from Richland Center an extension
to Tomah of about Is miles, or to
Niroqua, of about IS miles, would
connect the Lacrosse and the Mineral
Point Divisions.
Hoping YOU will find in this com
munication matter of sufficient inn
portance to merit the consideration of
your board of directors ut their APP

matter of raising stock with graziers
in the southwest where lands are cheap
and winters mild and of short duration.

The change in the management of
the pension office which took place
with the incoming of the present
democratic administration on March
1, 1885, has since proved great
blessing to deserving old soldiers The
following from The Springfield Repub-
lican gives some idea of the admirable
work being done by Pension Com
missioner Black:
1T hardly seems possible that it was
less than three years ago that the
country was repeatedly assured that
the election of Cleveland as president
meant the payment of the rebel debt
and pensions, and the stopping of pen
sions for union veterans. Now it APP
pears that since General Black took
charge of the pension office, he has
improved the service So that the pen
sions are being paid much more rap
idly than ever before, notwithstanding
Il decrease of one hundred clerks. In
the first year of his incumbency. he
saved 1864 days time by requiring a
closer attention To office hours and
giving fewer leaves of absence. The
following table shows the actual num-
Der of pensions issued by the bureau
for series of years and for ten months
of the present year:
Original, Ss,t6I S4l9O SSH aOS25 4,S52
ana mis-, lasls a2.sse st6,5 ss,7G sa,7ss
Totals, Ss,>sa 56,7s9 7O.sS6 1854 74.o0s.
The mail received by the pension
office now amounts to 10000 letters
for every week day, having nearly
doubled since 1884. General Black
has cut off entirely the detail of
officials for political work" in cam
paigns, and runs his office for 100000
less than the appropriation. Formerly
a case neglected for 4 long time was
marked abandoned or rejected. >
General Rlack has stopped this practice
and requires that every claim be adj,
Indicated. The great arrears when he
came into office have been entirely
cleared up. Pensions have never beer
adjudicated as promptly as they ar,
to-day, so far as they depend upon tn,
bureau. The secretary of the interior:
office is behind upon appealed cases
and really needs an additional assist
ant secretary to consider them.n

A STARTLING story comes from Cuba
to the effect that party of banditti in
command Of Matagas, daring leader,
had arranged to capture Senator John
Sherman on his recent visit to that island
and hold him for a ransom. The project
only failed by difference in time.
Sherman and party visited the plantation
of Pedro Fernandez at Colon, but for
tunate for the distinguished gentleman S
safety they left the plantation intended
for the scene of the outrage, just five
minutes before the outlaws appeared. 1t
is thought the owner of the plantation
was in league with Matagas. The ban
ditti could not believe the party had
escaped and the overseer was severely
beaten to make him divulge their hiding
place.

THE pretext for demanding new coer-
ciou measures fo: Ireland is the alleged
increase of crime on that ill-starred island,
and vet statistics show that in England
the ratio of prisoners to population Is one
in 1900, while in Ireland ii is one in
1000. The absurdity, not TO say injustice,
of such plea is enough TO make even a
baId-headed tory tear his hair, but facts
have little weight where race preludices
are once aroused 1t is the apparent
purpose of the Tories TO kill home-rule
by policy of perpetual irritation, but in
this they will most certainly fail.

IRON FOUND IN WATERLOO Town
sHIP.--For several weeks there has been
rumors ahoat to the effect that certain
places in the town Of Waterloo gave evil
dence of producing iron. On Wednesday
two of our citizens went over for the pur-
pose of investigating, and upon the farm
of F. Schech, about 81 miles from town,
they secured a number OF specimens that
proved beyond a doubt that the soil in
the vicinity abounded with mineral. On
Thursday about fifteen visited the local
ity, each returning with specimens OF
surface mineral. In order to ascertain
what is below the surface, will require
considerable labor and expense. There
are a number of our citizens who have
faith in the project, and are willing TO
stand portion of the expense incurred
in sinking shaft for the purpose of as
certaining whether there is mineral there
in paying quantities. If this is done, and
the prospect turns out to be profitable
one, all interested will never regret the
move Waterloo Democrat.

BETTER THAN HIS PARTY.

New York Sun: We have observed
that it has been said great many times
that Mr.. Cleveland is "better than his
party"
This expression is as absurd as it is Of
fensive Indeed, in all our experience, a
more offensive expression was never used
in any matter connected with politics.
Applied to MIR. Cleveland az Demo
cratic president, we suppose it means to
convey the idea that he is more moral
than the Democrats; wiser, more elevated,
more refiDed; in short, that he is good,
and that they are not good. This has
ALWAYS been a favorite idea with the
Mugwumps, and it is only few days
since George William Curtis repeated it
with renewed emphasis. Upon examin-
ing Grover Cleveland's famous letter to
Mr.. Curtis of December 81, 1884, it will
be seen that the writer of the letter was
strongly of that opinion himself.
It is insulting to Democrats in the
vague sense with which it is usually in
terpreted; but that is not all.
When little intelligence isexerted in
order to reach its real meaning, it will be
found that wherein the Mugwumps es-
TEEN Mr.. Cleveland better than bis party,
is where he differs from it in politics.
Politics and nothing else is the bottom of
their morality.
This is doubtless a source of unalloyed
satisfaction to the Mugwumps, but to
Democrats it is the cause of bitter disap-
pointment and modification.

THE ;ncongruities, inconsistencies, con-
Predictions, hardships, perplexities and
MISUNDERSTANDING of the Interstate
Commerce law are beyond anything ever
before experienced with any measure in
the history of this country. As the law
stands it will greatly favor transporta-
ton over the Canadian lines of railroad.
In evidence of this the announcement is
made that George Gray, attorney for the
Northern Pacific railroad, is advised that
the Canadian Pacific has begun to carry
sugar from the Pacific coast to ST. Paul
al much lower rates than those which
prevailed on our transcontlnental lines
prior to the order Of suspension. The
stone quarries at Mar thorough, n. H.,
are paralized by the new law. Six
thousand tons of paving blocks are stand
ing beside the railroad tracks waiting for
some modification in the law Large
contracts have been made for paving
blocks to be shipped to Cincinnati at a
former profit of Is cents a yard. Tie
new tariff increases the rate so cents a
yard. Recently an order for 1000 cars
or 10000 tons were necessarily refused
under the increased rate.
The Interstate Commerce Law was
passed with the view of relieving the peo-
pie from wrongs supposed to be imposed
upon them by the railroads, but it is prov
Jog anything but panacea. 1t is turn
ing out to be burden, delusion and a
genuine fraud in most of the cases, where
any attempt is made to carry out its pro-
visions.
